Good Companions

Thursday, January 3, 2008

So I took advantage of the flight from Florida to Denver to finish one of the wedding books I received as a Christmas gift from Andy.

During my layover in Houston, I proceeded to march right into Borders and return the book (using the gift receipt) for a store credit of $15.62. Since Matt and I spent $7 buying the domain name for this site, I believe we now have $2,008.62 to spend. I don't feel guilty about my deceit; the book was in perfect condition (and it's for a good cause).

Those extra $8 will come in handy, considering the fact that our current budget is very unrealistic. Here it is: (no drum roll please--it's actually pretty depressing)

In all seriousness, I feel really good about what Matt and I are attempting to do. The more I read wedding books, the more I realize that I don't want to put all my roulette chips down on one number. A wedding is a big deal because everyone is coming together in one place at one time, but it will be one special day in a long line of many special days. I want to put lots of planning into it, but, in the end, I don't want to go crazy (mentally or monetarily).

Us

We're the kind of people who would rather be outside than in. We drink mostly water. A lot of it. We're the kind of people who put on costumes at Halloween and drive around town delivering brownies (with bows) to friends and random people in the service industry. We cook four nights a week and eat out three. We're passionate about making the world better, and we spend lots of time actually trying to do it.
